My lazy days are my quilting days. I love to lock myself in my sewing room and sew all day long! I don’t get many lazy days, but hope to get more this fall and winter!❤
My perfect lazy day is a self care day. No working allowed. And no housework allowed!! Start the morning with your video and a cup of coffee. Make breakfast. Take a nice walk. Quilt when if I want to, have a facial, get my nails done. Meet a friend for lunch and have hubby either bring home dinner or order through door dash. Sometimes a show with popcorn and raisonettes.
A lazy afternoon has me floating in the pool…well, until it stays at 107 for so many days in a row. Today I will just catch up on TH-cam videos. Thanks Pat!
You looked so pretty! Your leftover blocks would be great in your backings and I do think if you incorporated them together into a quilt of their own, would make a great charity auction item❤I mean who doesn’t love a quilt and what a treasure to get one from the Sloan Zone🎉❤🎉
I can remember being a young girl (1959) and seeing a pine cone “pin cushion” at my great Aunt Nannie’s house in Wahala, South Carolina. Wow, what a memory.
A lazy day is a day off from work where I can sew in slippers and the family is off doing things and I don't have to stop to cook and clean up multiple times in the day. A small price to pay for : "Mom can I have the car today..." Why yes if you promise NOT to come home for dinner :)
So glad you showed the pinecone quilt book. I had just discovered it and watched Betty on you tube. I would love to do one but I don’t know she said it takes about a year they are definitely beautiful
I remember my mom actually made pinecone ornaments using this method on pinecone shaped styrofoam and she pinned with straight pins and added sequins. They were gorgeous
My lazy day….we are camping west of Charlottesville and I have spent the morning sitting outside under our awning reading, listening to a babbling stream and birds singing. We will venture out later and visit a local winery.
Hi Pat! I'd never heard of the Pinecone pattern/quilt. Oh my, that's quite alot of work!!! Some of the color variations remind me of the gum wrapper chains we used to make 😊😊
I had a few containers like yours. I finally said to myself, “you will never have time to use all of this material”, so I donated the lot to a organization that sells the material and uses the money to big wells in areas where there is no access to clean water.
Being of vintage age beats the alternative. Love the crabby living room. It would be fun to have enough coordinating quilts and quilted decor items to do that several tmes a year. Still trying to get enough for the 4 seasons. Adding holidays would be great. Enjoyed today's video. Thank you!
Today our small group met and we were far from crabby even when the air conditioner man came to service them. There were only 4 today but we all got a lot done. Love Wednesdays(our bigger group) but the Thursday group is very special. Blessings to you all❤
A lazy day for me is sitting in the recliner with my feet up and my kindle reading. A few years ago, I made two small Pinecone potholders (square & round). I decided they were too nice to use and have them hung as decorations in my kitchen instead.
one of the Block Wednesday's should be a row quilt and we could all make one row improv from our parts centers, it would be so cool to all be working on that together, not a whole quilt, but a row, and the rest of our quilts would be the same
I’m not sure one could breathe under one of the Pinecone quilts! They are absolutely gorgeous tho. Several yrs ago, when our quilt guild had a show and “handmade store,” my mom and I made tons of the pinecone potholders! They completely sold them out. The stitching calls for a workhorse sewing machine, as the layers build up and the thickness is a bear to stitch. 💕🧵
I made one of these project bags for my sister along with a cross stitch project for our birthday (I say our because we are twins). She actually takes it to the beach and puts her book inside and reads thru the clear vinyl. So many uses.
I was thinking about the last question you addressed regarding color block placement. Maybe have a series on color theory. During the pandemic, my guild worked on color theory, and this has helped me a lot.
A lazy day could be any or all of the things you mentioned. I enjoyed seeing your crabby living room. Is your Turquoise Squares quilt near done? That one would work wonderfully with this colorway in the living room. I am looking forward to a "Parts Center" quilt. Between it and the Critters, the process of building a quilt with different size blocks and parts really fascinates and inspires me.
I have done the BOM that the Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky does every year and Betty Ford Smith did the pine cone block one year it was an interesting block to do. would make a great pillow if you don't want to make a whole quilt.
Also question about colour and colour placement....Pat may have a playlist of "Secret Life of Color" quilt from last year. I learned so much about colour watching how she put that together. For those interested in having greater confidence around colour, you might review that series. It is fun.
So many cute crab quilts! About choosing colors, I am now working on using up fabric from my mother's stash. It is mostly calico' s and of course the colors are very different from today's. Kits been fun adapting these vintage fabrics to today's patterns.
? I have enjoyed learning about balancing a quilt as you put together the critter quilt. It is fabulous! But when you showed the photo you took where the critters were placed on your wall with just the white between them, it made me wonder how the next quilt would look if you used one color to build out the blocks to the size needed to sew into a quilt. It would look like varied sizes of sashing. And then use the same fabric in the narrow border. Do you think it would showcase the blocks and make a fun quilt, or would it be a boring quilt?
Thank you so much Pat for sharing this fantastic book with us. For a long time I have admired the intricate quilts of Rachaeldaisy, the Aussie designer, but felt a little intimidated to try one. Now I HAVE to try this. Step one = order the book. Pat - any chance of a special sew along? A pillow maybe to dip our toes in this fantastic pool?
Could combining the parts center blocks into quilts be used to demonstrate some colour placement theory? Just a thought. Loved the introduction to pinecone quilts! So unique and interesting. Thanks! Donna
Depends on the time of year as far as a lazy day activity. In the summer it would be reading outside. When the weather is to cool for that. Then I would watch a movie. Also crosstitching or some kind of hand sewing. Crocheting would also do. Nothing complicated things really easy. Not much thinking involved
Auditioning: Isn't that where you place folded fabrics in the block arrangements? If so, yhen there's loads of videos with you doing that. It's how I learnt it from you😀
?Question? I make QOV quilts so lots of red, white, blue colors. No matter how careful I am the edges begin to fray on the blocks. Then during the making of the quilt sandwich some of loose dark threads inevitably crawl over under the white fabric in the most visible spot in the quilt! Then I have to use a very tiny crochet hook to carefully extricate the culprit. I try so hard to gently handle the blocks and finished top, but the fraying always develops. How do you deal with these loose threads and fringes? Knowing some tricks would make life so much easier!
Once upon a time I did a potholder, and it was basically the pinecone method, but we called it the folded star. I don't remember if it was the 70's or 80's?
Gracie I never saw your first question. You can always ask in my Facebook group for much faster response. My pressed flowers is my Sleepover fabric. I do have a link to it in the description box under the video for easy access without having to wait for me to read comments go to -my Porch Swing fabric shrsl.com/3zuf2
It seems like I don't watch tv anymore. so if it's gonna be a 'lazy day', I'll catch up on all those shows that I've saved and end up watching quilting programs, lol!
Hi Pat, what is the name of the pattern for the beautiful red, white and blue star quilt you took down in your living room to put up the crabby quilt? I would love to make that quilt!
My lazy days are my quilting days. I love to lock myself in my sewing room and sew all day long! I don’t get many lazy days, but hope to get more this fall and winter!❤
My lazy day is a nap in front of a movie I have seen a dozen times. 😂 I’m almost 80 so I need a reboot nap often!
❤

I'm Retired! EVERY day is a Lazy Day! I quilt, I watch TH-cam, I quilt, I read, I quilt--what could be better than that?
Me too! Whatever I want.
A lazy day for me is definitely reading in the recliner AND watching quilting YT videos.
You looked so pretty! Your leftover blocks would be great in your backings and I do think if you incorporated them together into a quilt of their own, would make a great charity auction item❤I mean who doesn’t love a quilt and what a treasure to get one from the Sloan Zone🎉❤🎉

Love your scarf today… great video!❤️
Lazy Daly day- sitting on my patio on my glider watching all of my backyard animals eating, flying and chasing one another.
Your 2.5 inch squares teal/ aqua quilt would have looked good on the couch too. Love your videos. And the crabby quilt turned out so cute.
A lazy day is a day off from work where I can sew in slippers and the family is off doing things and I don't have to stop to cook and clean up multiple times in the day. A small price to pay for : "Mom can I have the car today..." Why yes if you promise NOT to come home for dinner :)
My Lazy Day is going out to the barn -saddling my wonderful gelding and going out for a joyfully tranquil ride.
Thank you Pat for showing the pine cone quilts I was fascinated by the work and colors in them. They must be heavy. Thanks
So glad you showed the pinecone quilt book. I had just discovered it and watched Betty on you tube. I would love to do one but I don’t know she said it takes about a year they are definitely beautiful
Same here, which is why a pillow would be a good place to start. Betty's video was wonderful. Her book will be a joy to read.
I take a nap or read a book. Pat you are looking great fresh, trim and enthusiastic. ❤
A Lazy Day would be coffee, quilting, floss tube, crochet videos, ordering in, watering the yard and no housework. Be Well
I remember my mom actually made pinecone ornaments using this method on pinecone shaped styrofoam and she pinned with straight pins and added sequins. They were gorgeous
This is how I think of the pine cone style too.
My lazy day is hand work or quilting with you tube quilting or stitching videos or an audiobook running in the background.🎉
My lazy day….we are camping west of Charlottesville and I have spent the morning sitting outside under our awning reading, listening to a babbling stream and birds singing. We will venture out later and visit a local winery.
sounds so nice!

Beautiful crabby quilt and table runner. I love the aqua/turquoise colours 😊
I had a few containers like yours. I finally said to myself, “you will never have time to use all of this material”, so I donated the lot to a organization that sells the material and uses the money to big wells in areas where there is no access to clean water.
How sweet of you.
A lot of great crab quilts/blocks. Thanks for showing mine.
Lazy day. Either a movie at home from my collection along with cross stitch, or reading a book.
Being of vintage age beats the alternative. Love the crabby living room. It would be fun to have enough coordinating quilts and quilted decor items to do that several tmes a year. Still trying to get enough for the 4 seasons. Adding holidays would be great. Enjoyed today's video. Thank you!
My lazy day would be sitting on my cabin deck , looking at the mountains, trees, birds and reading a good book with my cup of coffee.
Today our small group met and we were far from crabby even when the air conditioner man came to service them. There were only 4 today but we all got a lot done. Love Wednesdays(our bigger group) but the Thursday group is very special. Blessings to you all❤
My lazy day is sorting through some piles of papers I seem to collect while catching up with shows I have saved!
Thank you for your videos and encouragement. You do a lot of really hard work. Appreciate what you do ❤
My lazy day is watching quilting youtube videos for about an hour.
A lazy day for me is sitting in the recliner with my feet up and my kindle reading. A few years ago, I made two small Pinecone potholders (square & round). I decided they were too nice to use and have them hung as decorations in my kitchen instead.
My perfect lazy afternoon is tea, a book and the hammock
My lazy day is books and naps.

they are pieces of art, not quilts you use
@@PatSloan - Thank you for clarification Dear One! They certainly are pieces of precious art!
Always love seeing your quilts displayed
My lazy days are very few, but I will read a book or magazine and take a nap.
Hi Pat, your crabby quilt is hanging in my local quilt shop in Longmont, CO. How cool is that?
that is very cool!
I made one of these project bags for my sister along with a cross stitch project for our birthday (I say our because we are twins). She actually takes it to the beach and puts her book inside and reads thru the clear vinyl. So many uses.

The 3 red and blue crab quilt with the crabby border is so cute.

the squares are just blocks
Pat, you look especially pretty today! That top and scarf is quite fetching!
A lazy day is watching Pat Sloan videos of course! 😊
My lazy day is sitting in my chair, watching tv while knitting, playing games on my phone or cat napping.
I have done the BOM that the Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky does every year and Betty Ford Smith did the pine cone block one year it was an interesting block to do. would make a great pillow if you don't want to make a whole quilt.
That sounds interesting
A lazy day for me is working on making quilts, bags, or any craft.
Also question about colour and colour placement....Pat may have a playlist of "Secret Life of Color" quilt from last year. I learned so much about colour watching how she put that together. For those interested in having greater confidence around colour, you might review that series. It is fun.
Hi, Pat Sloan! Crappy Prade was fun. Always enjoy visiting the Sloan Zone. See you online next time😊
Lazy day is watching TV and doing hand sewing and reading
I really like your book reviews. I love being able to “see” the book before I buy it! The crab ensemble is so much fun go summer. Looks great!
Lazy day is a good movie on tv and some cross stitch.
A lazy day includes reading, napping, and takeout for supper! 😂

Hi Pat. My lazy day usually consists of hand stitching and watching a movie or TH-cam videos.

Now I HAVE to try this. Step one = order the book. Pat - any chance of a special sew along? A pillow maybe to dip our toes in this fantastic pool?
have fun trying it! My friend Racheldaisy does amazing work
Betty Ford Smith has a TH-cam video explaining this kind of quilt making. And introducing the book. Fascinating.
Could combining the parts center blocks into quilts be used to demonstrate some colour placement theory? Just a thought. Loved the introduction to pinecone quilts! So unique and interesting. Thanks!
Donna
the parts center blocks are not created for specific teaching elements. they are just random things that didn't work out for projects
A lazy day for me is actually being able to sew for a larger chunk of time or sit and watch YT or TV and cross stitch The crab quilts ar very cute.

Also crosstitching or some kind of hand sewing. Crocheting would also do. Nothing complicated things really easy. Not much thinking involved
Those quilts of Ms. Betty Ford Smith’s are amazing. They must be very heavy.
A Pine cone quilt must weigh a ton! But it looks like such fun. The pins would make fun gifts for my Circle friends.
Auditioning: Isn't that where you place folded fabrics in the block arrangements? If so, yhen there's loads of videos with you doing that. It's how I learnt it from you😀
that is what they are asking, but the questions are all for a very specific project or very specific block
Morning everyone, don't forget to hit that thumbs up for Pat Thanks!
I always give Pat a thumbs up! That is the first thing I do.

Starch the fabric a ton before cutting may help 👍
I found how to order the project bag pattern, thanks.
Wonderful! thank you for using my link! -Annie’s bag used with the crab shrsl.com/45dpb
I like to read a book when I'm feeling lazy. Thanks for video
Lazy day means staying in pajamas and eating leftovers for dinner - and probably a nap in the afternoon!
Pat what is the name of the quilt pattern on your crabby quilt? It looks great.
Reading or stitching on my porch swing is a lazy afternoon for me.
I love to read and watch quilting videos if feeling lazy. Maybe tv too. Lol
Lazy Day: I love to sit and read
Pat didn't you make a quilt using two inch squares in teals and aquas?
it is still blocks, I showed them recently
I think we should do a pineapple quilt!
Once upon a time I did a potholder, and it was basically the pinecone method, but we called it the folded star. I don't remember if it was the 70's or 80's?
I think that pattern had the prairie points pointing toward the center, whereas the pinecone quilt has them pointing away from the center.
ilove your proyects .i will aks again what is the fabric you use in flowers pressed proyect i love the colors
Gracie I never saw your first question. You can always ask in my Facebook group for much faster response. My pressed flowers is my Sleepover fabric. I do have a link to it in the description box under the video for easy access without having to wait for me to read comments go to -my Porch Swing fabric shrsl.com/3zuf2
Lazy day is being completely horizontal on the couch. Maybe some cross stitch, if I’m feeling ambitious.
I tidy up my sewing room or take a nap.
On a lazy day I will either read and drink coffee or take a nap 💤
My lazy day is, playing with my 2 labs and catching up with a few movies I taped. Sometimes it's doing genealogy
Hi Pat, my lazy day is, catching up on TH-cam.

A lazy day for me is baking or I love to go shopping.
I love watching a good movie for my laziest activity.
I watch utube quilt videos on kazy day. And watch quilt shows fun.
Parts, maybe donate....?..🎉
I go out and sit on my swing under the tree with my reader.
Take a nap 😊
Lazy day bed, watching movies
